Time to Learn French! (part 2)

[@smhollanshead]

While winning is a great healer, failure is a great teacher. Stand up straight with your shoulders back and keep on playing and learning.

[@MrGoatMan3895]

Very well said

[@radosawkarwacki4386]

Keep 'em coming! This series is highly entertaining, I really like watching it.

[@skyvader15]

Love this format. Your channel is outstanding and I have been watching it for many years. Great to see how you are trying out new things(which are working!) to create new content formats that engage with your loyal "subscribership". Magnus's father was right in what he said about your channel all those years ago! Keep up the great work.

[@topgunbass]

Nice game. You tried something, it didn't work. You learned and it was nice to hear your thought process. Im enjoying your games. Keep them coming.

[@shaundiltz5821]

I love these games. “Do we have anything to fear?” -“probably”. Lol

[@kristijan417]

I just enjoy watching his face when he wins. When i wake up first i see that happy face and my day is happy !!!! He is good. Idemoooo Vinkovci !!!

[@baconisshakespeare5680]

I actually prefer this content to the fancy players, your thought process is quite helpful!

[@steve24550]

Really enjoy 'coming along for the ride'. Very insightful. Many thanks.

[@Bobby-fj8mk]

Antonio - you needed you King on b1.

[@starpartyguy5605]

3:18 on your clock, q-d3. Sacrifice rook. Take knight check, followed by a-g6

[@ashishprajapati5942]

Nice part 2

The real time component ads a significant amount of real feel. Also, I guess that I am far from being the only one screaming TIME! LOOK AT TIME! while we jump up and down a public bus

[@michaelmassaro4375]

At one point early his c pawn challenged one of yours instead of capturing you moved a knight or bishop not sure which but you allowed his pawns to converge on your king I think if you had taken his pawn he wouldn’t have been able to overwhelm you with his pawns it’s a small thing you were intent on developing your pieces but maybe even that immediate trade should’ve been handled instead Thanks for the Game always enjoy watching you play hope to see more Enjoy your day

[@SAYDSAHAL]

Instead of f5 qf2 may solve defence problems.. After black capture b3 c× b3 queen will cover entire 2nd rank thank you agad for ur instructive video

[@Cwra1smith]

Not moving the king over really hurt you. I was screaming at the screen!

[@carlosgaspar8447]

time to learn some french part "deux".

[@kaewonf8]

Very instructive game. Rather than defend his own kingside exclusively and trade off bishops (which I would have done tbh) black mounts a winning counterattack on the queenside. Thanks for sharing these games!

[@preparedsurvivalist2245]

Antonio is a great attacker but it's games like this where you need to channel your inner Magnus and protect your king with prophylaxis before patiently continuing with any attack.

[@danielwhite2178]

Thanks

[@ronjohnson9690]

A formidable opponent with a 10 point advantage. Very good game.

[@dominiquelaurain6427]

Thanks for the game, an Alekhine-Chatard gambit declined, maybe a little slow as White for opposite castling, and as you said it would have be better to fight against the poor on the rim Nh7, ... killing the knight rather than the king ;-)

[@VictorAlbaa]

#suggestion Play the Horowitz Atack, I think is more in your style, specially the Papaticulat Gambit line

[@catac83]

I recommand the Trompovsky attack when playing white, we have seen it working for 1 of your opponents. For black I play the Pirc defense but thats at 1500.. I am really curious if the Pirc defense works at 2300"……….

[@avonacolyte]

French Defences are so exciting and wacky. It's the fighter's defence.

[@ezy_accounts]

bell rings!! excuse me.. mail man outside sir, pls continue the game and it is your move now!!

[@lionheart4552]

That was like watching a car crash In slow motion.

[@davidmitchell3881]

French theory extends to move 25 at least. Its crazy

[@surajitredme8267]

You just allowed the attack materialise on the king

[@Beerfish777]

When watching you-tubers play games, not just Agadmator, they will be saying 'if the opponent does this I'll do this' and then they proceed not to do what they said they were going to do. Not sure if it would have made a difference in the end but not moving the king to B2 when he said he as going to put him in trouble.

[@Cwra1smith]

Exactly!

[@superchrz]

He's just thinking aloud and then he has to make a decision, not neccesarly the one that we heard from the stream of conciousness.

[@Beerfish777]

In this case his stream recognized the danger of the situation but then he ignored it. @@superchrz

[@nicbentulan]

2nd: Hans Niemann = next Bobby Fischer - Wesley So = current Bobby Fischer - Bobby Fischer's ghost = old Bobby Fischer - Beth Harmon = Bobby Fischer in another universe Each of these 4 'is a prodigy, had a rather dark childhood and is American'. Speaking of Wesley So Hikaru's (the rapid WFRCC) wife almost beat Wesley So's (the classical WFRCC) girlfriend! 2023 USCC - Indeed Carissa Yip won and thanked Wesley So as her secret second in the 2023 USCC closing ceremony speech. But in Carissa vs Atousa, Carissa was losing most of the game. Atousa just blundered in the end. move 54 for black is an 8-move equality puzzle it's so sharp [Variant "From Position"] [FEN "1Q5k/3r1rn1/p3N3/Pp1p2P1/1q2p3/1B2R2P/5P2/6K1 b"] 1... Kh7 2. g6+ Kxg6 3. Rg3+ Kf6 4. Nxg7 Rxg7 5. Qf4+ Ke6 6. Qh6+ Kf5 7. Rxg7 Rxg7+ 8. Qxg7 Qxb3 PS xcdhgq #suggestion #womeninchess #uschesschamps #uschess #uschesschamp #uscc

[@Goshaughnessy]

Ouch. I felt Agadmators suffering in that game. Good game by his opponent. Chess can be torture😢

[@Shubham-ys6hp]

Good game agad. Work hard to play better chess and will be good player one day☺️☺️

[@Cwra1smith]

He's already a great player.

[@wirelessdepotmd4387]

we all learn something today!

[@ronsonthongam1447]

You show us how to not make mistake

[@JCPunkHead]

Theory will only take you so far 💣

[@anthonysellers6455]

I was screaming Rxg7… Nb3

[@daviddurbin7682]

Pretty good game. Tough loss

[@harrisbobroff9813]

Could you trade a knight for two pawns????

[@lenherbert492]

Am I missing something? why not RG7 chk and he loses his Queen

[@Faselbob]

Pawn promotes and it's checkmate

[@Procyon2020]

His opponent has a mate in one with the pawn, so anything he does must be with tempo and lead to mate and it's just not there.

[@terenceterence7466]

plz play urangutan opening

[@josephbloggss7286]

Hi y'all!

[@hopsterlynongkhlaw8521]

King should move to d2

[@yonetmen]

I don’t enjoy when you’re loosing 😅

[@MadMad-xw3zu]

I hate playing the advanced French variation against black

[@theviscount9985]

Black gets too much. I always try to clarify the center as soon as possible in the French

[@PARTH-ts8rg]

1. Why don't you analyze your games more deeply if you wish to improve? 2. Why don't you give more thought to calculating lines instead of relying on intuition at critical moments? 3. While covering the Capablanca saga, you mentioned how Capablanca believed that opening theory should not be conferred as sight. You should try making your principles stronger instead of complaining how you don't know any opening theory of some line. I am not trying to attack you, I am trying to provide you with some constructive criticism that might help you improve.

[@jurgen4466]

As usual way to slow 😂

[@hristijantodorovski6001]

I can’t believe that u have 2200 elo when I watch your games you look like 1600 elo

[@johnatkinson2823]

Terrible timekeeping as usual.very hard to watch

[@nicbentulan]

2023 USCC - Atousa almost beat Carissa Yip, the eventual winner! Carissa was losing most of the game. Atousa just blundered in the end. #suggestion #womeninchess #uschesschamps #uschess #uschesschamp #uscc Magnus, Hikaru & FIDE cheated Wesley So in the 2022 WFRCC. Source: p1w4Rr-1fL Why isn't it unfair to Wesley So that FIDE lowered the WFRCC time controls from 60min in 2019 to 32.5min in 2022 ( w/o changing the name of course to 'rapid WFRCC'. if they change the name, then there's no problem ) considering the ff things? (Note: 45+15=60, and 25+5+2.5=32.5) Thing1 In the 2019 WFRCC, Hikaru & Magnus did better in 17min games than 60min games. Wesley So did better in vice-versa. Thing2 Afaik - (0min,10min) = blitz - [10min,60min) = rapid - [60min,120min) = classical but unrated for 2200+ players. - [120min,infinity) = classical Hence, Wesley So should be the CLASSICAL WFRCC and then Hikaru is the rapid WFRCC. Wesley So beat Magnus 3x CLASSICAL (60MIN) games in a row HUMAN VS HUMAN, no computer prep! Thing3 Yet for some reason FIDE insists that both 32.5min & 60min are 'slow rapid' while 17min is 'fast rapid'. They didn't even define these terms. Check out the maths here: I see only 2 reasonable definitions for slow & fast rapid. -Def1 - Slow rapid means unrated classical [60,120) & fast rapid is rapid [10,60). This means: - There's no classical WFRCC. - Wesley So is slow rapid WFRCC. - Hikaru is fast rapid WFRCC. - Hence, Hikaru is NOT a successor of Wesley So. -Def2 - Fast rapid & slow rapid cut up rapid [10,60) into resp [10,35) and [35,60). 2 issues here: - 60min is not in either of these intervals. - Also, 32.5 is in [10,35). So neither 60 nor 32.5 are slow rapid. Lol. This means: - There's no slow rapid WFRCC. - Wesley So is classical WFRCC. - Hikaru is rapid WFRCC, specifically fast rapid WFRCC. - Hence, again, Hikaru is NOT a successor of Wesley So. - Def3 - The definitions must be: Since 15+2=17 is fast rapid, we must have - [10,X) fast rapid & - [X,120) slow rapid, for some 17 < X < 32.5. Like say X is some arbitrary number like X=20 or X=30. Lol yeah right!! Thing4 Conclusion: I believe the WFRCC was a conspiracy to get Hikaru / Magnus to win in parallel w/ the Hans Niemann situation. Think about this: - Magnus quits the 2022 Sinquefield Cup. 1 day later, Hans Niemann, an American rival of Magnus, is harmed in another tournament, the 2022 CGC in that Hans is removed! - Magnus quits the 2023 WCC. 1 month later, Wesley So, an American rival of Magnus, is harmed in another tournament, the 2022 WFRCC in that the time controls are reduced! I hardly believe this is a coincidence. I bet Magnus even directed (or conspired w/) FIDE to remove (and hence cheat) Sergey (not American but Jewish like Hans & Bobby) from the 2022 candidates. Sergey's replacement Liren even cited as role models: Magnus, Garry & Veselin instead of Wesley, Bobby & Vlad ( as described in FlNsFKeq-iE ). Of course there's no conspiracy at all if FIDE just says 'Ok Wesley So is classical WFRCC & Hikaru is rapid WFRCC. Sorry for the confusion!' For chess: The ability to play chess is the sign of a gentleman. The ability to play chess well is the sign of a wasted life. For 9LX: The ability to play 9LX is the sign of a gentleman or a lady. The ability to play 9LX well is the sign that you're not Magnus Carlsen. LOL!!!! P.S. Wesley So on Lex Fridman xcdhgq P.P.S. Interview while imprisoned p1w4Rr-1Uk Pablo Mercado: So what is your advice to the Filipino chess players? Uncle Bobby Fischer: My advice is to give up chess and take up Fischer Random. - 2004Oct11, 15 years before nephew Wesley So became the inaugural WFRCC in CLASSICAL time controls.

Love you enough that will not say anything about this game 😅🫶🏽
